Extra Education Learning was founded by Ariel Dunson, a licensed special education teacher with a Master’s degree and 10 years of experience teaching kindergarten, 1st-grade, and 2nd-grade students with learning disabilities, ADHD, autism, and speech impediments. Ariel is passionate about providing excellent extra education to every child and believes that when a child learns to read early, you don’t just change their education — you change their entire future in a positive way. Using simple, evidence-aligned reading strategies rooted in the science of reading research, Ariel teaches parents and students how to make learning joyful, playful, and effective.

Our mission is to empower children and families with the tools and support they need to succeed in reading and beyond. Whether through our digital products, personalized online tutoring, or immersive summer arts literacy camps, Extra Education Learning combines literacy, creativity, and community engagement to help every child unlock the joy and power of reading proficiently. We serve students of all abilities and are dedicated to making quality education accessible to families everywhere.
